The Commission of Higher Education has published the Memorandum Order number 14 series of 2009 which focuses on the new policies and to make new standards for the course Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The new CHED order has emphasized that the BSN course should be competence-based and community-oriented.

It is a pre-requisite that nursing graduates must not only obtain such degree, but must be competent in various fields. The nurse must be competent in the following Key Areas of Responsibility for which a nurse should demonstrate competence in Safe and quality nursing care, Management of resources and environment, Health education, Legal responsibility, Ethico-moral responsibility, Personal and professional development, Quality improvement, Research, Record Management, Communication, Collaboration and teamwork.

This CHED CMO No. 14 has again some difference with CMO No. 5 s. 2008 in terms of third and fourth year subjects. With CHED CMO No. 14, students shall choose at least two Electives [Elective 1 and 2] to complete the BS Nursing Program. Elective 1 is taken in the 3rd Year 2nd Semester. Choices for Elective I are Parent-Child Nursing, Spiritual Care Nursing, and Hospice Palliative Care. Elective 2 is taken in the 4th Year, 1st Semester. Choices for Elective II are Acute/Critical Care Nursing, Quality Health Care and Nursing, and Care of the Chronically ill and the Older Person. In addition, an Intensive Nursing Practicum subject during the 4th year corresponds to 8 units of clinical work. CHED CMO No. 14 still mandates a 4-year curriculum for nursing.

Moreover, one of the reasons why there are so many nursing graduates is that because schools that offer nursing courses have also proliferated. Unfortunately not all of the existing nursing schools offer quality education and one proof of that is the low percentage of their graduates that passed the national licensure examination for nurses.

...Carbon-14 Dating: An Invaluable Yardstick in the Chronology of Humans
Archaeologists utilize several methods to analyze data from the past. One scientific tool helps to analyze the radioactive decay of chemical elements found in plant and animal remains, pottery, and even rocks. Radiocarbon dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, has developed into one of the most important radioisotope dating methods archaeologists employ. This scientific tool, first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late 1940s, began with the discovery of the isotopic carbon-14 atom. Following this discovery, scientists began to ponder ways to utilize carbon-14 to date previously living organisms. Since scientists knew that living organisms absorb carbon-14 at a constant rate while alive, they started to formulate a process to measure C-14 to C-12 ratios in dead organisms. This procedure made it possible for scientists to age an organism using this carbon ratio. To ensure the formula was correct, they began to perform experimental trials of radiocarbon dating to test its accuracy, and while testing, discovered several methods of carbon 14 dating that yielded accurate results including the Geiger counting method, liquid scintillation method, and AMS dating method. These three methods have significantly improved the accuracy of assigning dates to past events and artifacts, dating as far back as 70,000...

Abstract
The United States Navy's aircraft carrier is capable of launching and recovering airplanes out to see. Catapults that can reach speeds of 160 miles in less than a second are used to launch the airplanes from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier to the air. In order for these aircrafts to be recovered, a tail hook is used which catches a wire on the flight deck that slows down the aircraft to a complete stop in less than 40 ft. These tail hooks are only seen in military airplanes.
Knowing the dimensions of the tail hook, a replica is redrawn using CATIA V5. The safety requirements that must met are also based on the characteristic of the airplanes, the weight and the minimum speed required for them not to stall in the air and crash on the flight deck....

F-14 Tomcat, sleek, powerful, deadly, and the real star of the movie Top
Gun. The F-14 Tomcat followed a history of "Cats" in the military. The F-4F
Wildcat and the F-6F Hellcat that fought in the skies years before the
Tomcat ever bit the air. In the late 1960's, the U.S Navy decided to decided
to focus on an aircraft dedicated to fleet defense. Grumman had already
begun developing the F-14, and was definitely headed for a "Cat"
designation. The person responsible for this project was Admiral Tom
Conolly, Deputy Chief, Naval Operations for Air. The aircraft was dubbed
"Tom's Cat" long before the official name of "Tomcat" was ever adopted.

Overall, the Navy's Grumman F-14 Tomcat is without equal among
today's Free World fighters. Six long-range AIM-54A Phoenix missiles can be
guided against six separate threat aircraft at long range by the F-14's AWG-9
weapons control system. For medium-range combat, Sparrow...

...in Archaeological Dating- Carbon-14
Production of Carbon- 14 (C-14)
The most common isotope of Carbon is C-12. However C-14 can form in the atmosphere as a result of neutrons from cosmic rays colliding with Nitrogen. This removes a proton from the nitrogen, resulting in the formation of C-14 (Image 1). However, C-14 is not a stable isotope and will undergo radioactive decay. C-14 would decay back into N-14 through beta decay. It has a short half life of approximately 5730 years. This means half the initial amount of C-14 would remain in 5730 years with the rest decaying back to nitrogen (Image 2). Since it is radioactive, C-14 would have disappeared from the Earth if it was not for the continuous production of C-14 in the atmosphere.
Carbon and Life
C-14 is able to react with oxygen in order form carbon dioxide. Plants consume carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and release oxygen. This means the plants would have also consumed small amounts of C-14. Other living organisms that consume the plants would also have traces of C-14. Living organisms would have certain amounts C-14 because they are constantly replenishing their supply. However, once the organism dies, it will no longer replenish its supply of C-14. Since...

Radiocarbon dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, has been one of the most important radioisotope dating methods used. This scientific tool, which was first developed by Willard F.

It is helping archaeologists, geologists, and anthropologists reconstruct the world’s history by filling in some of the many blank dates in the chronology of the history of our human world and by substantiating and revising other dates.
In 1941, the radioactive atom, carbon-14, was isolated and discovered. Utilizing this discovery of the unstable radioactive isotope of carbon, Libby formulated an idea for using the decay rate of this radioactive form of carbon to date the remains of once-living plants and animals such as charcoal, wood, bone, shells, and fossils. In 1948, while at the University of Chicago, he and his colleagues started experimenting with carbon-14 as a means for dating the past. The scientists proved that carbon-14, which is present in our atmosphere as carbon dioxide, is...
